Taken from his summer 2023 sold-out headline date at London’s Barbican Centre, the new album “3” follows suit and is spread across two performances – the first is recorded without an audience recorded ahead of the concert straight to analogue on a 1″ Scully tape machine, which had previously been used by Elvis at the famous Memphis-based Sun Studios. The second recording is taken from the evening’s performance itself with Ibrahim performing in a unique trio which includes Cleave Guyton (flute, piccolo, saxophone) who has performed alongside the likes of Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gillespie, and Joe Henderson, as well as lauded bassist and cellist Noah Jackson, both of which are members of Ekaya and featured on Ibrahim’s top 3 Billboard Jazz album “The Balance”. The recordings feature a number of special new tracks and moving arrangements influenced by the music of Ibrahim’s upbringing (gospel and jive, American jazz and classical music, sacred and secular), and arrangements of tracks by his friends and heroes such as Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, all interwoven by his fluidic and ebullient playing style. The recording also features spellbinding vocal performances from Ibrahim creating a powerful, pin-drop moment with heartbreaking songs about the pain of slavery sung in both an indigenous language and English. The whole thing is accentuated by the lack of percussion which highlights both the more poignant moments as well as the more energetic moments. Abdullah Ibrahim (who has also recorded as Dollar Brand) is one of South Africa’s most famous musicians. Born under the apartheid regime, where jazz music was seen as an act of resistance, his music is often referred to as representing freedom. His major anti-apartheid anthem “Mannenberg” (released as “Capetown Fringe” in the US) has come to be regarded as an unofficial national anthem in South Africa, and he even performed at Nelson Mandela’s inauguration, where Mandela referred to him as “our Mozart”. He’s played with everyone from Duke Ellington to Max Roach, John Coltrane to Ornette Coleman, and is the father of underground rapper Jean Grae. Abdullah Ibrahim was also recently awarded “The Order of the Rising Sun” by Japan’s government – one of the country’s top honours. Abdullah was one of several foreign recipients of the 2020 Spring Imperial awards conferred by His Majesty, the Emperor of Japan. The award was being given to Abdullah in recognition of his lifetime achievement in emancipating the people of South Africa and the world through his music, as well as his contribution to Japan-South African friendship through his works, performances and profound understanding of Japanese culture and spirituality. This is something that is exemplified perfectly in Ibrahim’s ongoing project at his 800-hectare farm in the Green Kalahari. The project engages the local community and neighbouring Botswana and Namibia, focusing on music, movement, medicine, meditation and Satoyama-biodiversity – the Japanese cosmology of conservation and creating a harmonious co-existence between humans and nature. Recently speaking toArts24, Ibrahim says, “The idea is that we incorporate all of this. I call it Satoyama Africa which is this biodiversity with music, astrophysics, and farm produce. For young people, the idea is to come there and engage in this. And for young musicians for example, composing in this dynamic. We have the ancient earth, and we have our sights beyond the milky way.” This release is comprised of: Volume 1 – Direct to Tape Volume 2 – Live at The Barbican Parts 1 & 2 Artist Abdullah Ibrahim Genre Jazz Label Gearbox Buying Options 3LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 3LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country UK Track Listings Barakat Tsakwe Krotoa - Crystal Clear Maraba Ishmael Mindif In a Sentimental Mood Giant Steps Reprise 1 Water from an Ancient Well Nisa The Wedding Tuang Guru Reprise 2 Dreamtime Skippy Blue Bolero Mindif Trance-mission Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Abdullah Ibrahim and more from Jazz View Product Quick View Abdullah Ibrahim Solotude Jazz | Gearbox | 1LP Released 14th January 2022 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Abdullah Ibrahim Solotude £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1575 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Abdullah Ibrahim The Balance Jazz | Gearbox | 180g, 1LP Released 23rd April 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Abdullah Ibrahim The Balance £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1554OBI Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 23rd April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Horace Silver Quintet Doin’ The Thing Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 15th November 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Horace Silver Quintet Doin’ The Thing £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 807383 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cab Calloway Hi De Hi De Ho Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 17th May 2010 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Cab Calloway Hi De Hi De Ho £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPANLSP2021 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 17th May 2010 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View McCoy Tyner Time for Tyner (Tone Poet) Jazz | Blue Note Tone Poet | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 2nd June 2023 £36.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations McCoy Tyner Time for Tyner (Tone Poet) £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note Tone Poet SKU: 3856840 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 2nd June 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Bill Laswell Baselines Jazz | Tiger Bay | 180g, 1LP, 45rpm Released 14th June 2017 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bill Laswell Baselines £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Tiger Bay SKU: T02832 Formats: 180g, 1LP, 45rpm Released Date: 14th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dr John Ske Dat De Dat – The Spirit Of Satch Blues | The Last Music Company | 1LP Released 5th June 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dr John Ske Dat De Dat – The Spirit Of Satch £19.00 Genre: Blues Label: The Last Music Company SKU: LMLP221 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th June 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Evan Parker Collected Solos Jazz | Otoroku | 4LP, Box Set Released 29th January 2021 £112.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Evan Parker Collected Solos £112.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Otoroku SKU: ROKURE011 Formats: 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Duke Ellington/Johnny Hodges Back to Back (Acoustic Sounds Series) Jazz | Verve (Acoustic Sounds Series) | 180g, 1LP Released 24th May 2024 £36.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Duke Ellington/Johnny Hodges Back to Back (Acoustic Sounds Series) £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve (Acoustic Sounds Series) SKU: 6512449 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Samara Joy A Joyful Holiday Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Verve | 1LP Released 27th October 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Samara Joy A Joyful Holiday £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Verve SKU: 5828569 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Meet You At The Jazz Corner Of The World Volume 2 Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 15th November 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers Meet You At The Jazz Corner Of The World Volume 2 £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 807387 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes What Kinda Music Jazz | Beyond the Groove / Blue Note Records | 180g 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Released 24th April 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes What Kinda Music £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Beyond the Groove / Blue Note Records Released Date: 24th April 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
